We’re modifying our shipping policy a bit. We have sent out the first pair of UPZ boots without a secondary box. Looking back, we’ve wasted a lot of extra packaging with cardboard by trying to protect virtually indestructable Alpine Snowb…oard Gear with such a solid shipping company such as UPS. Look for gear coming to you in the stock box and if you have any issues, please, give us some feedback. We want to do as much as possible for the environment on this front.
As a side note, some customers may have noticed upon taking their box apart, if you have for some reason removed your UPS Shipping label, you might see a screen print from the Transformers movie or some random Barbie or Disney princess coloring book printout on the backing. We frequently rummage the recycle bin for viable shipping label stock.
Also, Hardbooter headquarters was probably the first local South Salt lake Biz to buy into the recycling program before it became free to all. If you see a way for us to feasibly improve our footprint, feel free to give a shout out.
